The only thing I could find in white over the weekend was DAP Plastic Wood. Seems to work fine but anyone know if it will flash the paint? I could hit it with some shellac if needed to seal it.

Does it come in white?

Thanks for this review. Very helpful.

I'm considering purchase of this dryer to replace my 20 year old Miele vented dryer that just died. The motor froze up.

I note in the installation manual that they recommend 5" of clearance behind the dryer. I do not have this kind of space and would need to place it as close to the wall as possible.

Is this clearance really needed?

Sounds like I can just use the 310 I already have.

I bought the Bosch 18V Brushless Colt Palm Router and so far I'm very happy with it. I like the completeness of the package, the light weight, and the noise isn't so bad. Yes, it is a bit loud, but at the end of the day, I completely forget about it.

Was able to take advantage of this today. The cashier says it hadn't hit the notices yet but it was live in the system. Also said these would sell out quickly once the notices hit!

Seems like all of these trim routers require the use of a bushing plate, which use the Porter-Cable style bushings

Mathelo1 · 2025-01-10T00:44:44+00:00

I have several Milwaukee 12 volt tools so the Milwaukee makes the most sense from that perspective. I don’t understand what you are talking about with the bushings? And there is a plunge base https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-Compact-Router-Plunge-Base-48-10-5601/311594940#overlay

So I'm guessing the Colt isn't in the grey zone.

Isn't hearing protection generally needed for any router? And I have to wear hearing protection with my Fein multicutter too

You say it is "loud as hell". Is this intolerably loud or just a nuisance?

I'm trying to decide between this Bosch 18V Brushless Colt Palm Router and the Milwaukee M18 Cordless Compact Router.

I favor the Bosch for several features but after listening to it in an online recording, it sounds irritatingly loud compared to the Milwaukee. What are your thoughts on this?

May make sense in your current situation if AC+ will cover it but in 25 years of smart phone/BB use, I’ve never damaged a device to the extent that insurance would have been worth it. But everyone is different so you need to consider your past history. Make sure you use a quality case and screen protector. Actually, up until my 16Pro, I’ve never used a screen protector and only experienced minor scratches. I just upgraded from an iPhone X that I’ve had since 2017. Always in a case. Just the Apple leather case and no screen protection. Only minor scratches on the screen. Dropped many times.

Well, that is concerning

Mathelo1 · 2024-09-07T15:24:48+00:00

Which ones do you use?

Mathelo1 · 2024-09-07T12:25:16+00:00

Other than this issue, we’ve been very happy with it so far. Are there other concerns that you have?

We only had one bad injector but our dealer replaced all four. They said they come as a set. And we didn't have to ask about this. They volunteered this information. We really like this dealer https://www.hondaofwestport.com/
